A Note from The Virtual Wall

Captain Andrews was flying F-100D tail number 56-3069 from Phang Rang Air Base on a close air support mission near Thuy Dong, about 30 miles west of Saigon. His aircraft was hit by ground fire as he was making a weapons run against an enemy sampan. Captain Andrews did not eject before the aircraft impacted in an unsurvivable crash.
